Testing polymer dice, primarily used in tabletop games, involves assessing their fairness and balance. One well-known method is the saltwater float test. By dissolving enough salt in water to increase its density, a polymer die can float. By gently spinning the die in this solution, observers can check if it favors a particular number, indicating either balance or bias due to uneven mass distribution. However, this test is not infallible, as internal imperfections and air bubbles can elude detection. For a more thorough examination, a statistical approach can be employed by rolling the die hundreds or thousands of times and analyzing the distribution of outcomes. Both methods have limitations; the saltwater test may not reveal less obvious biases, and the statistical test requires a significant time investment. Hence, combining both tests offers a comprehensive insight into a die's fairness, though perfect balance is rare due to manufacturing imperfections.
Polyethylene Terephthalate (PET) is fabricated primarily through a process called polymerization, which involves two main chemical reactions: esterification and polycondensation. Initially, purified terephthalic acid (PTA) and monoethylene glycol (MEG) undergo esterification to form a monomer called bis(2-hydroxyethyl) terephthalate (BHET). In the subsequent polycondensation reaction, these monomers are polymerized under high temperature and vacuum to form long polymer chains of PET. Catalysts are often used to speed up the reaction process. The resulting PET can either be amorphous or semi-crystalline, depending on the cooling and processing conditions, allowing for its diverse applications, ranging from fibers in textiles to food and beverage containers. The choice of processing conditions, such as temperature and vacuum level, significantly impacts the physical properties of PET, including its clarity, strength, and barrier properties.

Polypropylene is a thermoplastic polymer made by the polymerization of propylene, a byproduct of fossil fuel refining and natural gas processing. Its chemical formula is \(C_3H_6\)n, where "n" represents the polymer chain's length. Polypropylene is valued for its resilience, resistance to many chemical solvents, bases, and acids, as well as its ability to be molded and extruded into a wide variety of shapes and applications - from packaging, textiles, plastic parts, and reusable containers to automotive components and medical devices. It is also lightweight and has a high melting point, making it suitable for applications requiring sterilization at high temperatures. Environmental considerations include its durability and resistance to degradation, which contribute to pollution if not recycled properly. However, its versatility and recyclability make it a staple in the plastics industry.
